Allow two FTP login for same folder?

[projectpete]

Hello,

I have one public ip address that i can use for ftp. I have it setup and working but i have come to a point where I was asked to do something and i cant figure it out. My boss saves images to our server in our office and then from home he is able to access the images via ftp. he now wants one of his friends to be able to access those images as well, is there a way i can have two different logins to access the same folder?

ie: i want my boss to have full control via ftp and his friend to only have read rights to the folder

Why not have a default page in the folder the works like a simple photo gallery and list or displays the images?

safer than allowing FTP access.

sorry chrishirst i dont know what you mean, can you clarify?

Bit of asp/.net code on a page that reads the folder contents and displays links and/or thumbnails to the images, the other user can then view or download the images without needing ftp access.

But you can create a second login for FTP access to a folder.
It's exactly the same procedure as I assume you used for creating the first just limit access via the ACL & NTFS permissions as well as setting read only in the MMC.
Also make sure the second username has NO access to anything other that one folder.
A user that you have NO control over what machines they access the server from, is a potential weak point in your server security.
